Nan Ge was slightly startled, not expecting that he would offer to take a group photo together.

But then again, the two of them are already friends.

What happens when friends watch a concert together and then take photos together?

Any questions?

Not at all, right?

The more Nan Ge thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

She quickly convinced herself and nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

The concert reached its climax, and the beautiful lights on the stage slowly passed through the audience accompanied by cheers.

With this background, Nan Ge looked at the camera, smiled sweetly, and raised his hand to make a "V" gesture, "(＾－＾)Yeah!"

Looking at the figure in the camera, Shen Yanqing subconsciously turned his head and looked at the little penguin beside him.

There was a soft "click" sound and the picture was frozen.

The concert was a complete success. When it ended, everyone was reluctant to leave, and it took a long time before they slowly walked out.

There were 80,000 people in the venue, and everyone was rushing out at the same time. There were already hundreds of orders lined up on the taxi app, and the roads outside the venue were also somewhat congested.

Nan Ge was glad that he didn't drive here.

This time is not too late, buses and subways can still catch the last train.

After coming out with Shen Yanqing, Nan Ge tightly wrapped his coat and asked him: "How are you going back?"

"The car is in front." Shen Yanqing raised her chin and motioned her to look at the parking lot opposite.

"Ah." Nan Ge saw the familiar license plate.

Taking another step forward, Shen Yanqing seemed to have thought of something, "Are you still thinking about going back by yourself?"

Nan Ge who just opened the map: "..."

Her expression said everything, and Shen Yanqing felt that he could now more or less understand Nan Ge's brain circuit.

"It's so late, how could I let you go back alone?" He said with a smile, "Is it possible that in your eyes, I am such a bastard?"

Nan Ge's pupils shrank and he shook his head violently, "No, no, no, I just feel that it's not going well with you."

"It's not very far." Shen Yanqing opened the passenger seat, put one hand on the door, and turned sideways, pretending to be thoughtful: "I haven't had a good look at the night view of Huaicheng for a long time. I just happened to drive you there this time. You can also take a quick stroll.”

"I……"

"Okay, it's time to get in the car, baby penguin."

"!"

——

At the door of the restaurant, Nan Ge rummaged through his bag and finally found the key at the bottom, "I was scared to death. I thought I had lost the key too."

She murmured to herself as she opened the door, "There seem to be only two keys here. If I lose them, I will really have to sleep on the street tonight."

"It's always safe to sleep on the street." Shen Yanqing helped her turn on the light, "I can take you in for a while."

"No, no, no." Nan Ge put down the bag and poured water for him: "I always cause trouble for you."

Putting the cup down, she glanced at the time on the wall, and an exclamation escaped from her mouth, "It's so late."

"Are you hungry?"

In one sentence, Shen Yanqing understood it instantly.

It doesn't matter whether he is hungry or not. What is important is that the baby penguin seems to be hungry.

He glanced at the clock out of the corner of his eye. It was almost half past eleven and he had just finished watching the concert. The baby penguin should have something to eat.

So he responded, "A little bit."

"Then, let me cook something for you to eat?"

"You know how to cook?" Shen Yanqing was a little surprised.

This time, Nan Ge didn't respond immediately. She scratched her head, not daring to be blindly confident, so she said more conservatively: "Just a little bit."

In her memory, she made him a bowl of longevity noodles on her brother’s birthday, and then the following year, she made some desserts for her brother’s birthday.

The appearance was not a success, but her brother said the taste was okay.

But later, her brother said that she worked too hard every time she cooked, and was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he told her not to do it next time.

So, she only had the experience of entering the kitchen twice, and after careful calculation, four or five years had passed.

"If you don't mind, I'll go see what's in the kitchen and make some?"

She looked eager to try.

Shen Yanqing: "Okay."

——

Taking advantage of Nan Ge's break in cooking, Shen Yanqing found an empty seat in the restaurant hall and sat down.

Open WeChat, and some blessing messages pop up one after another.

Father: "Why didn't you come back today?"

"Is the company so busy? Don't you even take a break during the off-year period?"

"Have you had dinner tonight? How about I have someone send you some to the company?"

"Work less overtime, and don't torment your body just because you're young. After the New Year, you'll be running for three days, and you can't compare with the previous years."

After Shen Yanqing browsed the news from top to bottom, he reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.

He was not very sensitive to his age before, nor did he feel that he was very old.

Of course, compared with those new forces, he is no longer young, but he doesn't feel that he is old enough to need attention from all aspects.

He does not work overtime every day, but exercises on time every week.

But in the past few days, the topic of age has been brought up from time to time, causing him to doubt himself a little.

Soon, new news came over, and it was my father.

"The kitchen left some food for you, why don't you come back now? What time is it?"

After a cursory glance, Shen Yanqing typed a reply: "It's too late today so I won't go back."

It took a while for the other person to reply to him: "Okay, then remember to have dinner."

After a pause, his father sent another message: "Are you going to your mother's place to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Seeing this message, the light in the man's eyes dimmed for a moment.

Shen Yanqing rarely shows such an expression, and he rarely gets entangled.

After typing it out, I deleted, deleted, and changed, and in the end there were only two words: "No."

"Well, after you finish your work, remember to go back to your old house early to celebrate the New Year."

"Um."

After replying the message, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The man lowered his head, and the spotlight on the wall hit his back from one side, bending his figure.

He sat there alone, motionless for a long time.

Like a lost and hesitant large dog, it seems that it has suddenly lost its direction.

Until not far away, a familiar voice sounded: "Mr. Shen, hurry up! I cooked the noodles! They look great!"

Shen Yanqing raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion that had never gone away.

Nan Ge came over with a tray, put one bowl of noodles in front of him, and handed the tableware over, "Hey, try it quickly!"

Seeing that he was looking at her without any movement, the eyes under the lenses seemed to be filled with thick ink, so turbid and deep that it was difficult to see clearly.

Nan Ge thought he didn't want to eat, so he explained a little embarrassedly: "Originally, there were other foods in the kitchen, but after looking around, it seemed that I couldn't make them."

"This is simpler, and I've done it before, so I'm a little bit confident."

The man reacted and shook his head slightly, "Pretty good."

At the end, he even curled his lower lip.

Nan Ge stood opposite and watched him pick up the chopsticks mechanically.

After observing for a few seconds, she slowly squatted down, lying on the table and holding her face to keep eye level with him: "Are you unhappy? Do you want a hug?"
